What are the symptoms of an avulsed tooth?

An avulsed tooth is a tooth that has been completely knocked out of your mouth. When your tooth is avulsed, no parts of it remains in your mouth. Symptoms of an avulsed tooth may include:

• A gap in your mouth where your tooth used to be.
• Mouth pain.

Losing your tooth may cause bleeding. If so, place a clean handkerchief or small washcloth over the socket and bite down. Avoid aspirin, which can worsen bleeding. If you’re in pain, ask your healthcare provider about what pain relieving medications are most appropriate for you. Please consult your healthcare provider for any head trauma, particularly if you experience dizziness or nausea. They can rule out any other injuries.
